One day, Alex heard a noise. " Someone's coming".
" I hear him" Doreen replied with joy in her voice. " And he's carrying a basket".
The elderly man in white scooped down and picked up Miguel.
" He picked me" he replied in gladness. The man put him into his large basket.
" He picked me too" Doreen squealed. The man put her into his basket.
" He won't pick me". Alex sighed. " Nobody ever does". Just then, he smiled.
The elderly man put him into his basket.
Later, God washed off the pumpkins. He cut off the tops and scooped out all of the insides. He cut a smiling face into each one and then put a candle into each of them. He set them by the front door.
On the night of Halloween.
" Smile everyone" Doreen said with a joyful noise. " The kids are coming".

The End
